Baseball Contracts.


The Ball Players Brotherhood, the member
League clubs and none of the Association play
ers although effort is to be made to bring
them into the organization. is to meet in New
York on Friday. It is for the purpose of dis
cussing a new form Of contract for next season.
The Philadelphia Record publishes interview
with the Brotherhood's president, John Ward,
who said 81 believed contract should be agreed
upon which should itself determine all the rela-
tions which to exist between the player and
his club, without any reference TO any docu-
ments the outside. The present form de-
clares the player bound by the constitution of
the League and the articles and covenants of the
national agreement Yet it is simply impossi-
bic for a player to know what those documents
They changed from time to time, and
cannot keep track of them at all If the
player is willing to concede the right of reserv-
alton to the club, let that be stated in the con-
tract, and if there any limitations the
right let them ais be stated. Let the words OF
the contract itself contain the entire agreement
between club and player; then any player may
at any time know what to expect and what is
expected of him.
Il do not think the time has come when base
ball do away with the rule. The
great majority of players still favor il. though
they think 1t needs. modification. The time
during which a club may reserve player should
be limited to say three five years, and the
number of reserved should possibly be reduced.
OF course, the player might stay after the
reservation time had expired, il he wished.
Contracts should be signed for one two five
years, if agreeable to both parties. A player
secure of his stay for definite time. L don't
believe in contracts for the year round They
could accomplish but little good, while there are
many serious objections to them"

angered her, and she ordered him to Oe whipped,
to which he is com PEELED to submit. The girl
testified that Mrs. Hooff ordered her to do the
whipping and she was only obeyipg orders
when she was arrested. The officers found Dir.
Hooff in semi-conscious state. with clothes
